🛒 Ingredients:
• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, washed and halved
• 1 lb bacon
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 “palm”)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
👩🍳 Directions:
1. Prep the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the full pound of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble. Leave a few tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.
2. Sauté the Brussels: Place halved Brussels sprouts cut side down in the bacon fat. Sauté over medium heat until golden and tender — about 10–12 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
3. Add cream + cheese: Once the sprouts are mostly tender, stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the Brussels. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
4. Bring it all together: Stir in about half of the crumbled bacon. Transfer everything to a casserole dish.
5. Finish in the oven: Sprinkle remaining bacon on top and bake at 375°F for 10–15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
🔥 Tips from The Keto Lady:
• Make it a meal: Add cooked shredded chicken or turkey for a full one-pan dinner.
• Cheese swap: Swap Parmesan for Gruyère or white cheddar for a funkier twist.
• No oven? Just simmer on the stove until thick and creamy and top with bacon right in the skillet.
• Meal prep magic: Reheats beautifully in the air fryer or oven.
